A FIREMAN TALKS.
EDITOR BULLETIN =


"The good of the Department,
and of the Public" is a motto,
which every well meaning fireman
who has the good working of the
Honolulu Fire Department at heart,
will endeavor to carry out at the
coming election for their Board of
Engineers.
During thirty years, the annual
election of engineers, has been con-
sidered the flreman's day. The
several companies would nominate
their candidate, canvass votes for
them, and on the evening of the
election, the ballot decided who the
successful party was but within the
last year or two, 'public spirit" has
suddenly awakened, and outside in
fluence has been taking part in the
canvassing for votes of an election,
which rightly belongs to the men,
bers of the department. Last year
a document was circulated for the
object of influencing voters, against
the present Chief Engineer; and
reports had it, that the promoters of
that document were in the field
again this year, endeavoring to in
huence voters. What objection is
there to Mr.. G. b. Wilson? His
capabilities for filing the office are
well-known to every fireman. Is the
opposing candidate an improvement,
and will the department be benefited
by the change; are two points for
the members to consider. During
the term the present chief has held
office, who else would have been
more attentive to his duties, or
accomplished more towards the well
fare of the department than he.
Take the new fire hydrants and the
present water system for instance,
his ideas only which he has begun
to carry out, test of their working
was shown at a drill during the
month of June, which was witnessed
by and spoken of by our represent
atives of the press of this city. Is
he to be discarded for that, and not
given an opportunity to complete
what he has commenced? Another
Chief Engineer, new, not only to the
office, but to the work connected
with it, will not accomplish any
more, during the next year than
what is already done, ON the con-
trary he will not be able to do as
much, as he will not be in a posi-
ton to begin the work from where it
is so far finished. He will have his
own ideas to work up, and by the
time he gets things into shape, to
carry them out another election day
will be around.
Is it right and advisable, to elect
a new Chief Engineer at this time?
The Fire Department has never been
in such state of efficiency, as it is
at the present time, and is it likely
TO improve if new chief is to be
elected every year?
The Chief Engineer, not only re-
luires, to have a knowledge of
engineering but thorough ideas of
practical mechanical work, and that
nan is Chas. B. Wilson.
AS have had no legal advice on
his subject accept my situation
md therefore | being a fireman l
want to serve under a competent
thief who also has the support of
he two ablest and most competent
and l think that is good
or the department and also the
public, which is the motto of every
Active Fireman.
FAIR DEAL AND JUSTICE.

Products of Sewage Farms.

DR.. Tidy, in marked contrast with DR.. Cor
field, thinks that there is danger that entozoic
diseases may be communicated TO both man
and beast by means of the products of sewage
farms. He says that the fact has always
been recognized that entozoic diseases have
eli external origin; i. e., that the oya or para
sites come from without, and are not Seuer-
ated within. the human body. Millions OF
ova are voided with every segment dis
charged by the person afflicted with tape
worm, each ovum being capable of produc-
ing a measle in the flesh of an animal, and
each measte tapeworm in the body of the
man. He has seen watercreSses and celery
grown on sewage ground. having quantity
of dried sewage matter deposited on the
stems, and he has, with more than a cooks
patience, tried 10 wash this matter of but
the teuacitv with which it sticks upon the
surface OF the vegetable when once dry is
perfectly astounding.
II should be remembered in this connection
that these vegetables are eaten in an I'M
cooked state. The grass covered with sewage,
eaten as it is with rapacity by the cattle, in
fects their bodies with the larval parasite.
Thus the meat is meaSly, and measiv meat,
except for efficient cooking, means tapeworm

story might be told of trichina, with Its ten
times greater danger. The farm, therefore,
that receives sewage must be more liable TO
produce measly meat than the farm that does

had not the remotest chance of success

NATIVES OF THE NORTH.
Tremendous Appetites of the Inhabitants

VI tuc <AACtAS Ahc5ACiAS'
When we were at John Rowland bay, a
I month ago, on the Arctic coast, was visit
ing on the Hunter, where the sailors were
scraping off the pieces of the gum adhering
to the butt ends of the whalebone The ha-
tives stood by, and as the long shavngs were
rolled off gathered them all up, eating what
they could hold, and storing the rest away
in their canoes | tasted of the stuff out of
curiosity's sake, but dropped it as soon as /
could The flavor is about as would i'm
agine rotten raw peanut to be. For a
steady diet, should hesitate between that
and faith, but the natives all evidently rel
ished it exceedingly. and they chewed by the
hour. schoolgirl would a piece of gum.
The greatest feast I have seen the natives
have was about two weeks ago, when several
whalerS were lying at anchor under East cape,
ION the Asiatic shore. A whale was raised at
the southwark, working rapidly up along the
shore. twenty-five or thirty whale boats
were Immediately lowered, and the gauntlet
was too much for the whale. He was soon
captured and alongside the Lucretia to be
cut IN. Seven canoe loads of natives came
off to claim their share of the whale, which
custom has defined as the fins, flukes tthe
tail, and all the lean they can cut off.
The whale was very large one, max
ing in the vicinity of 40 barrels Of oil,
and producing about $500 pounds Of
whalebone, hence there was great
amount OF lean. How the natives
did work to save thisl To me the whole scene
was most amusing Work was begun about
S o'clock and finished soon after midnight,
but the sun set only to rise in an hour or two,
- a.
Of the ship were giving their orders, the
donkey engine was putting away turning the
windlass, which ratified like dozen heavy
log chains Twenty or thirty natives were
yelling like f1ends Huge sheets Of blubber
were being hauled in at the gangway.
Everything was excitement and noise. The
sea all about the ship was red with blood, AMI
natives were crawling all along the whales
carcass, holding big sheath knives in their
teeth, cutting off piece of meat when oppor-
tunity offered, and jabbering away like so
many monkeys. When they were through
with the skeleton, it seemed as if they could
not have removed any more meat even with
q piece of sandpaper. All their canoes were
loaded down as full as they could carry with
meat. Now that the work was over the
feast followed. The most toothsome part of
the whale to them is the black skin from the
lips, the fins and the tiules, and these opened
the feast Imagine a man or a woman, with
slice of meat the size OF four or five pound
steak, surrounding a corner with an expan-
siye mouth, then saving OF the corner and
writhing all over in order to chew up the
whole piece and not drop any from his mouth.
This is the happiest moment one of these
natives could wish for-Cer Chicago Times.
